Hey, I just installed the mod and everything is green. :C
Vanilla FOC works fine. I followed the instructions in the installation video. I have Steam. Here's what I'm looking at. The game is running, I just can't see much and it's unplayable. :C
LRSP: so I can see the entire map from base; I promise you I had one these puppies at every world capable, which is most of them. More for visual appeal than anything else. They aren't going to affect much other than at best saving the defender twenty seconds of hypervelocity gun charge time. That said It'd be nice to see the entire map as the defender.
.
Gravity Well Generators: So you can trap SSDs on the defence. To give the NR/others limited access to gravity wells.
The Megamaser tank: I actually kinda like the whole idea of needing to escort them- the AI, however, is less adept at manoeuvring a unit with such a large minimum range, and thus they just waste themselves when you're fighting them. They should scare me the way AT-ATs do; instead they just suicide into my tanks. At point=blank range. I figured a light close-in weapon could alleviate that without spoiling their look, but simply reiging in that minimum range would help a lot too.
, good old unit spam, hehe.
Turret Defences: I don't think it's too much to ask for the turrets to hold off a few companies of trash with the turrets alone, especially if I've packed my favourite maps with a butt-tonne of the little buggers, which is about my favourite hobby while playing. I would also like to be ale to place them from the unit deployment map on planets, if it were possible, so I could have them up in advance of attacks, or, even better, have a layout pre-placed for them when defending. That would make me so very happy indeed; I could just switch out the ones I need for the day and defend. Awesome. I also think the outer worlds that are most barren are the ones that need it the most- they need something to get some firepower on the map if you're caught with few units and little garrison strength. A barracks, turrets, a few grand and good luck or judgement have held me against AT-ATs before. I liked that possibility being around.
Civilians: I don't mean give them units that are necessarily the same srength as trained ones; like the existing units they could be shorter-ranged, less powerful and have less HP. I would just like to see more diversity among them to add flavour, and I know adding a few rare rocket infantry civilians wouldn't be (too) much work. Adding one or two with a Molotov throwing animation would be harder but freaking awesome. Adding a few improvised vehicles, in the flavour of those seen in The Phantom Menace and legends and Rebels and Clone Wars: well that'd be cooler than smoking weed in the highschool toilets. Again, not necessarily elite units, but for example, civilians on swoop bikes, serving as inferior versions of the existing scout bike units (even better, super-easy reskins could be used), hovercars and shuttlecraft used to mount a laser turret or three, maybe even the odd, very rare heavy unit they've salvaged or stolen, depending on location, ie. I fully expect Mandalorians to rocket my stuff and use aircraft and vehicles. Rodians used cavalry and vehicles. I'm not the only one who wants to see tauntauns; I've seen the requests around. A few igloos spawning them would make my week. Correlians, Alderaanians, Fondorians, and more will happily assault you with CR90s, Gunboats, Marauders and even larger vessels, and seeing a handful of them spawn to assist or even attack under their own volition in orbit over such worlds would be the awesome to a point of extremity. Criminal units are also notorious for engaging military formations if circumstances were favourable with both warships and ground vehicles; this would also add some chaos and some entertainment to the fights (especially the ground fights could use some stuff going on).
. Though as I said, I don't know if that is even possible to accomplish, Petroglyph really kinda missed out on some opportunities to spice up combat.
Cheers for your feedback and organisation bro!
.They did take half a year to reequip the Stormtroopers and reconguer the rim, and public support for the Empire was kinda high.
.
, it also always bothered me that the Empire established themselves in such force and in such a short period of time after the clone wars, they could have at least added some years to it to make it more believable... meh, and who knows, maybe they found resources or allies in the outer rim or in wild space. But I wouldn't count on them ever clearing that up, it's the magic trick every evil empire ever had - unlimited resources and manpower despite being hated like nothing else ;>.
Long-Range Sensor Platform: Request automatic LRSP placement on all maps once tier 2 station constructed, for all factions.
Gravity Well Generator Platform: Request automatic placement of GWGP at all capital production worlds, if controlled by appropriate factions.
Pentastar Escort Carrier: Weapons utterly useless. Request remodel to anti-fighter role.
Quasar fire: centralise twin engine harpoints into one. More for the length of time it keeps a huge fleet busy than anything else- they won't retarget once enough shots are in the air, thus the number of harpoints is the biggest determining factor in how long a ship survives once enough crap is firing at them. Reduction of all redundant hardpoints for this reason, with exceptions for Praetor or larger sized vessels whose shields and engines are fine to have up to four hardpoints.
Nebulon-B: remove fighters. Buff armour and laser cannons.
Gotta say, the Empire of the Hand ships are basically perfect. I've almost nothing to say other they lack dedicated laser-cannon-only anti-fighter support (last time I played them). Which I suppose they don't need, but I definitely want. I hate wasting time building those bastardised half'n'half ships, particularly with corvettes- I want anti-fighter corvettes, and no other variety, as the others are useless from a gameplay perspective. I know the escort carriers are pretty- but they aren't very useful.
All basic infantry: I would say a cost increase, but either way it won't matter. I'd like to see a reduction in their anti-air effectiveness; aircraft should wreck non-rocket infantry units. Reduce fire rate. Sharply reduce animation times for raising weapons and turning to reduce order lag on units (I can raise my (disabled) arm to fire a lot quicker than these trained rebels seem to be able to!)
Pirate Skiff: effectively useless. Less cost might help, but the company just isn't very useful no matter the cost. Unsure what to do with it.
.
Megamaser Tank: secondary weapon, please!
SPMA-T/AT-AT/AT-AA
Stormtroopers: More of them. Just more per unit. Don't even worry about raising their price- it won't matter anyway, and they're meant to be mass-produced for economical spamming. These should unequivocally be the largest infantry company.
All turrets except AA: more range. They can't chase down the enemy so they should have equal range to the maximum-ranged units, excluding artillery. I would accept a cost increase in exchange, but remember how much cheaper an anti-tank gun is compared to a tank- they should remain obnoxiously cheap.
LAAT: increase beam cannon anti-infantry damage.
Airspeeder: Increase armour slightly. Increase speed slightly to facilitate more misses against them (making them an interceptor in comparison to the LAATs aerial artillery role) Reduce anti-vehicle damage, they don't need it. Increase anti-infantry damage, a lot- they kinda need it and it looks a hell of a lot more realistic when they do a pass if you do.
Civilian buildings: increase armour. Add dedicated civilian turrets to certain areas (these fire on any non NR units and are located covering the chokepoints into city areas) this would further add flavour to certain worlds and again reinforce that the NR are the outgunned good guys. You could even throw in a little bit of sporadic civilian traffic in some places (use existing assets for ship that are known to be used by civilians) to add some flavour to space fights. They don't need to do any more than valiantly die against the star destroyers' gun while shouting about it being unfair and they'd add a lot to the game. Make it feel lived-in and real, y'know? Big ask for this point of the game even using existing models, but could be very very cool and done comparatively quickly. An even rarer criminal ship appearing in the middle of nowhere would also be very cool- it'd probably just start a countdown and hyperspace out if it can, or die to any non-criminal ship that crosses it's path, again while complaining about it audibly.
Sensor nodes: Some of these should be placed for free in strategic locations (without going on a buildpad, so they're irreplaceable in any given battle) to simulate proper military preparedness.
On the topic of power-to-shields: Why in the name of the great old ones did you remove autocast abilities from (as far as I can tell) all non-hero units!? Please undo! If you want to force set them to disabled at first, fine; but don't remove my ability to flick it back on for God's sake! I'm not watching EVERY ship for shield damage; it's drudgery and takes my attention from where I want it to be. I can't see any reason for this backwards step. Rule of accessibility options: more is always better. Makes bad sense for exactly one type of ability- offensive ones- and even then I don't see that as an adequate reason for removing the very option to turn the autocast back on. Bad.
New Republic should have some kind of buildable interdictor by era 3-4. Make it subpar if need be; or even better give them only planetary gravity well generators, but they need gravity-wells for trapping over-eager Ysannes and Zsinjs.
Lucas made them non canon long before Disney did so they were forgotten long before Disney brought them back to life.
Krell, a military mastermind compared to Halcyon ? Wait... What ?
As expected, the characters from the movies got the most votes. I am looking forward for the final roster and how it compares to the other side's roster.
. Most of them have nice stories and need to be flashed out some more, but balancing them all could be difficult... so I'd be happy with the ones I voted for, which are Krell (please :>), Kota, Secura and Shaak Ti..
